CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63/005,724 filed Apr. 6, 2020; U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63/022,290 filed May 8, 2020; U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63/033,679 filed Jun. 2, 2020; and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63/160,622 filed Mar. 12, 2021. The entire contents of these applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

FIELD

Provided are inhalable pharmaceutical formulations suitable for treating viral infections such as Arenaviridae, Coronaviridae, Filoviridae, Flaviviridae, Orthomyxoviridae, Pneumoviridae, or Paramyxoviridae viral infections. In particular, provided herein are inhalation formulation comprising the compound of Formula I, Formula Ia, or Formula Ib as described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an aqueous vehicle.

BACKGROUND

Preventing or treating some Arenaviridae, Coronaviridae, Filoviridae, Flaviviridae, Orthomyxovirus, Pneumoviridae, and Paramyxoviridae viral infections present challenges due to a lack of vaccine or post-exposure treatment modality for preventing or managing infections caused by viruses from these families. In some cases, patients only receive supportive therapy such as electrolyte and fluid balancing, oxygen, blood pressure maintenance, or treatment for secondary infections.

The compound (S)-2-ethylbutyl 2-(((S)-(((2R,3S,4R,5R)-5-(4-aminopyrrolo[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazin-7-yl)-5-cyano-3,4-dihydroxytetrahydrofuran-2-yl)methoxy)(phenoxy) phosphoryl)amino)propanoate, referred to herein as the compound of Formula Ia, is known to exhibit antiviral properties against several viral families, including Arenaviridae, Coronaviridae, Filoviridae, Paramyxoviridae, and Flaviviridae viruses (see e.g., Warren, T. et al., Nature (2016) 531:381-385; Lo M K, et al. Sci. Reports 2017; 7:43395; Sheahan T P, et al. Sci. Transl. Med. 2017; 9:eaal3653; Agostini M L, et al. MBio 2018; 9(2):e00221-18; Cell Research (2020) 30:269-271, and WO 2017/184668). There is a need to develop a inhalable pharmaceutical composition comprising the compound of Formula Ia, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Such pharmaceutical formulations can be useful, especially in treatment of respiratory infections.

Delivery of therapeutic agents directly to affected respiratory tracts has several advantages. By targeting the delivery to the respiratory tracts, the drug reaches the target tissue without first entering the systemic circulation where the drug molecules are subjected to dilution, metabolism, distribution and excretion. A high local concentration of drug can be reached in the lungs while the systemic concentration is kept below that likely to cause adverse side effects. Inhalation therapy may also be used for drugs to be delivered to the bloodstream and finally to the desired site of action.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I. General

The present invention includes a pharmaceutical formulation comprising the compound of Formula I, Formula Ia, or Formula Ib and an aqueous vehicle, wherein the pharmaceutical formulation is for administration via inhalation.

II. Definitions

“The compound of Formula I” refers to the following compound:

The compound of Formula I was disclosed in WO2012/012776. The IUPAC name for the compound of Formula I is 2-ethylbutyl ((((2R,3S,4R,5R)-5-(4-aminopyrrolo[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazin-7-yl)-5-cyano-3,4-dihydroxytetrahydrofuran-2-yl)methoxy)(phenoxy)phosphoryl)-L-alaninate.

“The compound of Formula Ia” refers to the following compound:

The compound of Formula Ia is disclosed in WO2016/069826. The IUPAC name for the compound of Formula Ia is (S)-2-ethylbutyl 2-(((S)-(((2R,3S,4R,5R)-5-(4-aminopyrrolo[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazin-7-yl)-5-cyano-3,4-dihydroxytetrahydrofuran-2-yl)methoxy)(phenoxy) phosphoryl)amino)propanoate, and the CAS Registry Number is 1809249-37-3. The compound of Formula Ia is also referred to as remdesivir and GS-5734.

The “compound of Formula Ib” refers to the following compound:

The compound of Formula Ib is disclosed in WO2016/069826. The IUPAC name for the compound of Formula Ib is (S)-2-ethylbutyl 2-(((R)-(((2R,3S,4R,5R)-5-(4-aminopyrrolo[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazin-7-yl)-5-cyano-3,4-dihydroxytetrahydrofuran-2-yl)methoxy)(phenoxy) phosphoryl)amino)propanoate.

The compounds of the disclosure, exemplified by Formula I, Formula Ia and Formula Ib have chiral centers, e.g., chiral carbon or phosphorus atoms. The compounds of the disclosure thus include racemic mixtures of all stereoisomers, including enantiomers, diastereomers, and atropisomers. In addition, the compounds of the invention include enriched or resolved optical isomers at any or all asymmetric, chiral atoms. In other words, the chiral centers apparent from the depictions are provided as the chiral isomers or racemic mixtures. Both racemic and diastereomeric mixtures, as well as the individual optical isomers isolated or synthesized, substantially free of their enantiomeric or diastereomeric partners, are all within the scope of the invention. The racemic mixtures are separated into their individual, substantially optically pure isomers through appropriate techniques such as, for example, the separation of diastereomeric salts formed with optically active adjuncts, e.g., acids or bases followed by conversion back to the optically active substances. In most instances, the desired optical isomer is synthesized by means of stereospecific reactions, beginning with the appropriate stereoisomer of the desired starting material.

Stereochemical definitions and conventions used herein generally follow S. P. Parker, Ed., McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Chemical Terms (1984) McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York; and Eliel, E. and Wilen, S., Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds (1994) John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York. Many organic compounds exist in optically active forms, i.e., they have the ability to rotate the plane of plane-polarized light. In describing an optically active compound, the prefixes D and L or R and S are used to denote the absolute configuration of the molecule about its chiral center(s). The prefixes d and l, D and L, or (+) and (−) are employed to designate the sign of rotation of plane-polarized light by the compound, with S, (−), or l meaning that the compound is levorotatory while a compound prefixed with R, (+), or d is dextrorotatory. For a given chemical structure, these stereoisomers are identical except that they are mirror images of one another. A specific stereoisomer may also be referred to as an enantiomer, and a mixture of such isomers is often called an enantiomeric mixture. A 50:50 mixture of enantiomers is referred to as a racemic mixture or a racemate, which may occur where there has been no stereoselection or stereospecificity in a chemical reaction or process. The terms “racemic mixture” and “racemate” refer to an equimolar mixture of two enantiomeric species, devoid of optical activity.

The compounds of the invention may also exist as tautomeric isomers in certain cases. Although only one delocalized resonance structure may be depicted, all such forms are contemplated within the scope of the invention. For example, ene-amine tautomers can exist for purine, pyrimidine, imidazole, guanidine, amidine, and tetrazole systems and all their possible tautomeric forms are within the scope of the invention.

Any formula or structure given herein, including compounds of Formula I, Formula Ia, or Formula Ib, is also intended to represent unlabeled forms as well as isotopically labeled forms of the compounds. Isotopically labeled compounds have structures depicted by the formulas given herein except that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having a selected atomic mass or mass number. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the disclosure include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, fluorine and chlorine, such as, but not limited to ²H (deuterium, D), ³H (tritium), ¹¹C, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹⁵N, ¹⁸F, ³¹P, ³²P, ³⁵S, ³⁶Cl and ¹²⁵I. Various isotopically labeled compounds of the present disclosure, for example those into which radioactive isotopes such as ³H, ¹³C and ¹⁴C are incorporated. Such isotopically labelled compounds may be useful in metabolic studies, reaction kinetic studies, detection or imaging techniques, such as positron emission tomography (PET) or single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) including drug or substrate tissue distribution assays or in radioactive treatment of patients.

The disclosure also includes compounds of Formula I, Formula Ia, and Formula Ib in which from 1 to n hydrogens attached to a carbon atom is/are replaced by deuterium, in which n is the number of hydrogens in the molecule. Such compounds exhibit increased resistance to metabolism and are thus useful for increasing the half-life of any compound of Formula I, Formula Ia, and Formula Ib when administered to a mammal, particularly a human. See, for example, Foster, “Deuterium Isotope Effects in Studies of Drug Metabolism”, Trends Pharmacol. Sci. 5(12):524-527 (1984). In view of the present disclosure, such compounds are synthesized by means known in the art, for example by employing starting materials in which one or more hydrogens have been replaced by deuterium.

Deuterium labeled or substituted therapeutic compounds of the disclosure may have improved DMPK (drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics) properties, relating to distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME). Substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life, reduced dosage requirements and/or an improvement in therapeutic index. An ¹⁸F labeled compound may be useful for PET or SPECT studies. Isotopically labeled compounds of this disclosure and prodrugs thereof can generally be prepared by carrying out the procedures disclosed in the schemes or in the examples and preparations described below by substituting a readily available isotopically labeled reagent for a non-isotopically labeled reagent. It is understood that deuterium in this context is regarded as a substituent in the compound of Formula I, Formula Ia, and Formula Ib.

The concentration of such a heavier isotope, specifically deuterium, may be defined by an isotopic enrichment factor. In the compounds of this disclosure any atom not specifically designated as a particular isotope is meant to represent any stable isotope of that atom. Unless otherwise stated, when a position is designated specifically as “H” or “hydrogen”, the position is understood to have hydrogen at its natural abundance isotopic composition. Accordingly, in the compounds of this disclosure any atom specifically designated as a deuterium (D) is meant to represent deuterium.

“Treatment” or “treating” is an approach for obtaining beneficial or desired results including clinical results. Beneficial or desired clinical results may include one or more of the following: a) inhibiting the disease or condition (e.g., decreasing one or more symptoms resulting from the disease or condition, and/or diminishing the extent of the disease or condition); b) slowing or arresting the development of one or more clinical symptoms associated with the disease or condition (e.g., stabilizing the disease or condition, preventing or delaying the worsening or progression of the disease or condition, and/or preventing or delaying the spread (e.g., metastasis) of the disease or condition); and/or c) relieving the disease, that is, causing the regression of clinical symptoms (e.g., ameliorating the disease state, providing partial or total remission of the disease or condition, enhancing effect of another medication, delaying the progression of the disease, increasing the quality of life, and/or prolonging survival.

The terms “polyethylene glycol” or “PEG” as used herein refer to polymers of the general chemical formula H(OCH₂CH₂)_(n) OH, also known as (α-Hydro-ω-hydroxypoly-(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), where “n” is greater than or equal to 4. Any PEG, substituted or unsubstituted, is encompassed by this term. PEGs are commercially available from a number of vendors (e.g., Carbowax™ (Dow Chemical, Midland, Mich.) and Poly-G® (Arch Chemicals, Norwalk, Conn.)).

“Prevention” or “preventing” means any treatment of a disease or condition that causes the clinical symptoms of the disease or condition not to develop. Compositions may, in some embodiments, be administered to a subject (including a human) who is at risk or has a family history of the disease or condition.

“DI water” (also be referred as deionized water, DIW, de-ionized water, demineralized water, or DM water) is water that has had essentially all of its mineral ions removed, such as cations including sodium, calcium, iron, and copper, and anions such as chloride and sulfate.

“Volume mean diameter” or VMD as used herein refers to the diameter of a hypothetical particle having the same average volume as that of the given sample.

The term “hypertonic saline” means a water solution containing greater than 0.9% (w/v) NaCl. For example, 3% hypertonic saline would contain 3% (w/v) NaCl.

An empirical parameter used to characterize the relative hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of non-ionic amphiphilic compounds is the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (“HLB” value). Surfactants with lower HLB values are more lipophilic or hydrophobic, and have greater solubility in oils, while surfactants with higher HLB values are more hydrophilic, and have greater solubility in aqueous solutions. Hydrophilic surfactants are generally considered to be those compounds having an HLB value greater than about 10, as well as anionic, cationic, or zwitterionic compounds for which the HLB scale is not generally applicable. Similarly, lipophilic (i.e., hydrophobic) surfactants are compounds having an HLB value equal to or less than about 10. However, HLB value of a surfactant is merely a rough guide generally used to enable formulation of industrial, pharmaceutical and cosmetic emulsions.

It is also possible to combine any compound of the invention with one or more additional active therapeutic agents in a unitary dosage form for simultaneous or sequential administration to a patient. The combination therapy may be administered as a simultaneous or sequential regimen. When administered sequentially, the combination may be administered in two or more administrations.

Co-administration of a compound of the invention with one or more other active therapeutic agents generally refers to simultaneous or sequential administration of a compound of the invention and one or more other active therapeutic agents, such that therapeutically effective amounts of the compound of the invention and one or more other active therapeutic agents are both present in the body of the patient.

Co-administration includes administration of unit dosages of the compounds of the invention before or after administration of unit dosages of one or more other active therapeutic agents, for example, administration of the compounds of the invention within seconds, minutes, or hours of the administration of one or more other active therapeutic agents. For example, a unit dose of a compound of the invention can be administered first, followed within seconds or minutes by administration of a unit dose of one or more other active therapeutic agents. Alternatively, a unit dose of one or more other therapeutic agents can be administered first, followed by administration of a unit dose of a compound of the invention within seconds or minutes. In some cases, it may be desirable to administer a unit dose of a compound of the invention first, followed, after a period of hours (e.g., 1-12 hours), by administration of a unit dose of one or more other active therapeutic agents. In other cases, it may be desirable to administer a unit dose of one or more other active therapeutic agents first, followed, after a period of hours (e.g., 1-12 hours), by administration of a unit dose of a compound of the invention.

The combination therapy may provide “synergy” and “synergistic”, i.e. the effect achieved when the active ingredients used together is greater than the sum of the effects that results from using the compounds separately. A synergistic effect may be attained when the active ingredients are: (1) co-formulated and administered or delivered simultaneously in a combined formulation; (2) delivered by alternation or in parallel as separate formulations; or (3) by some other regimen. When delivered in alternation therapy, a synergistic effect may be attained when the compounds are administered or delivered sequentially. In general, during alternation therapy, an effective dosage of each active ingredient is administered sequentially, i.e., serially, whereas in combination therapy, effective dosages of two or more active ingredients are administered together. A synergistic anti-viral effect denotes an antiviral effect which is greater than the predicted purely additive effects of the individual compounds of the combination.

3. Combination Therapy for Respiratory Infections

Many of the infections of the Pneumoviridae and Picornaviridae viruses are respiratory infections. Therefore, additional active therapeutics used to treat respiratory symptoms and sequelae of infection may be used in combination with the pharmaceutical formulations provided herein. The additional agents are preferably administered orally or by direct inhalation. For example, other preferred additional therapeutic agents in combination with the compounds provided herein for the treatment of viral respiratory infections include, but are not limited to, bronchodilators and corticosteroids.

Glucocorticoids

Glucocorticoids, which were first introduced as an asthma therapy in 1950 (Carryer, Journal of Allergy, 21, 282-287, 1950), remain the most potent and consistently effective therapy for this disease, although their mechanism of action is not yet fully understood (Morris, J. Allergy Clin. Immunol., 75 (1 Pt) 1-13, 1985). Unfortunately, oral glucocorticoid therapies are associated with profound undesirable side effects such as truncal obesity, hypertension, glaucoma, glucose intolerance, acceleration of cataract formation, bone mineral loss, and psychological effects, all of which limit their use as long-term therapeutic agents (Goodman and Gilman, 10th edition, 2001). A solution to systemic side effects is to deliver steroid drugs directly to the site of inflammation. Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) have been developed to mitigate the severe adverse effects of oral steroids. Non-limiting examples of corticosteroids that may be used in combinations with the compounds provided herein are dexamethasone, dexamethasone sodium phosphate, fluorometholone, fluorometholone acetate, loteprednol, loteprednol etabonate, hydrocortisone, prednisolone, fludrocortisones, triamcinolone, triamcinolone acetonide, betamethasone, beclomethasone diproprionate, methylprednisolone, fluocinolone, fluocinolone acetonide, flunisolide, fluocortin-21-butylate, flumethasone, flumetasone pivalate, budesonide, halobetasol propionate, mometasone furoate, fluticasone, AZD-7594, ciclesonide; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

Anti-Inflammatory Agents

Other anti-inflammatory agents working through anti-inflammatory cascade mechanisms are also useful as additional therapeutic agents in combination with the compounds provided herein for the treatment of viral respiratory infections. Applying “anti-inflammatory signal transduction modulators” (referred to in this text as AIS™), like phosphodiesterase inhibitors (e.g., PDE-4, PDE-5, or PDE-7 specific), transcription factor inhibitors (e.g., blocking NFκB through IKK inhibition), or kinase inhibitors (e.g., blocking P38 MAP, JNK, PI3K, EGFR or Syk) is a logical approach to switching off inflammation as these small molecules target a limited number of common intracellular pathways—those signal transduction pathways that are critical points for the anti-inflammatory therapeutic intervention (see review by P. J. Barnes, 2006). These non-limiting additional therapeutic agents include: 5-(2,4-Difluoro-phenoxy)-1-isobutyl-1H-indazole-6-carboxylic acid (2-dimethylamino-ethyl)-amide (P38 Map kinase inhibitor ARRY-797); 3-Cyclopropylmethoxy-N-(3,5-dichloro-pyridin-4-yl)-4-difluorormethoxy-benzamide (PDE-4 inhibitor Roflumilast); 4-[2-(3-cyclopentyloxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-2-phenyl-ethyl]-pyridine (PDE-4 inhibitor CDP-840); N-(3,5-dichloro-4-pyridinyl)-4-(difluoromethoxy)-8-[(methylsulfonyl)amino]-1-dibenzofurancarboxamide (PDE-4 inhibitor Oglemilast); N-(3,5-Dichloro-pyridin-4-yl)-2-[1-(4-fluorobenzyl)-5-hydroxy-1H-indol-3-yl]-2-oxo-acetamide (PDE-4 inhibitor AWD 12-281); 8-Methoxy-2-trifluoromethyl-quinoline-5-carboxylic acid (3,5-dichloro-1-oxy-pyridin-4-yl)-amide (PDE-4 inhibitor Sch 351591); 4-[5-(4-Fluorophenyl)-2-(4-methanesulfinyl-phenyl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl]-pyridine (P38 inhibitor SB-203850); 4-[4-(4-Fluoro-phenyl)-1-(3-phenyl-propyl)-5-pyridin-4-yl-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-but-3-yn-1-ol (P38 inhibitor RWJ-67657); 4-Cyano-4-(3-cyclopentyloxy-4-methoxy-phenyl)-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid 2-diethylamino-ethyl ester (2-diethyl-ethyl ester prodrug of Cilomilast, PDE-4 inhibitor); (3-Chloro-4-fluorophenyl)-[7-methoxy-6-(3-morpholin-4-yl-propoxy)-quinazolin-4-yl]-amine (Gefitinib, EGFR inhibitor); and 4-(4-Methyl-piperazin-1-ylmethyl)-N-[4-methyl-3-(4-pyridin-3-yl-pyrimidin-2-ylamino)-phenyl]-benzamide (Imatinib, EGFR inhibitor).

Example 4: Preparation of Exemplary Pharmaceutical Formulations of the Disclosure

The compound of Formula Ia at 15 mg/mL in water with 0.1% w/v HPMC, 0.5% w/v poloxamer 237, and 0.9% sodium chloride: The aqueous vehicle containing the excipients HPMC, poloxamer 237, and sodium chloride was prepared as described above in Example 3. Then 4.00 mL of the vehicle, 98.83 mg of the compound of Formula Ia, and 12 g of 0.5 mm zirconium oxide milling beads were added to a size 7 mL soft tissue homogenizing vial. The vial capped, vortexed briefly, and then placed in a Bertin Instruments Precellys® Evolution blender. The blender was used to wet mill the mixture for 15×30 second cycles, with 120 second rest time between cycles. The blender speed was 7,200 rpm and cooling set was set to high. After milling, the milled suspension was separated from the beads by withdrawing the suspension from the vial using a syringe with a 1.5″ 25G needle. The recovered volume of the concentrated suspension was noted as 2.97 mL, and the concentration was measured as 25.8 mg/mL. The suspension was diluted with 2.14 mL of vehicle to obtain the target concentration of 15 mg/mL. The final formulation had a measured osmolarity of 285 mOsm/kg, pH of 6.89, and volume mean diameter particle size of 3.65 μm.

The compound of Formula Ia at 100 mg/mL in water with 0.1% w/v HPMC, 0.5% w/v poloxamer 237, and 0.9% sodium chloride: The suspension vehicle containing the excipients HPMC, poloxamer 237, and sodium chloride was prepared as described above in Example 3. Then the pre-mill formulation intermediate was made by mixing 150 mL of the vehicle with 25.0 g of solid compound of Formula Ia. The particle size of the compound of Formula Ia in the pre-mill formulation intermediate was reduced by wet milling using a Netzsch DeltaVita® 15-300 mill. The mill was configured with a 200 mL reservoir, 50z continuous milling chamber containing 150 g of 0.5 m zirconium oxide beads, 300 μm screen, and Ultracool™ UC4 process circulation chiller. The chiller set to 30° F., pump set to 100 rpm, and agitator set to 3000 rpm. The pump was primed with 100 mL of vehicle, and the first 80 mL of flowthough from priming was sent to waste. The mill was then set to recirculate as feeding continued with the addition of 150 mL of pre-mill formulation intermediate, followed by 25 mL of vehicle rinse. The formulation was allowed to recirculate though the mill for 1 hr, after which the flow was directed to a collection bottle. After 100 mL of concentrated suspension formulation was collected in the bottle, a vehicle chase was fed into the mill. Collection was stopped when the recovered volume reached 250 mL. The particle size of the compound of Formula Ia in the final formulation was <5 μm by polarized light microscopy, with a measured concentration of 99.9 mg/mL.

Particle Results Formulation vehicle Size shown in PBS/0.1% HPMC >5 μM FIG. 3 PBS/0.1% HPMC <5 μM FIG. 4 150 mM NaCl/0.1% HPMC/ <5 μM FIG. 5 0.5% Poloxamer 237 150 mM NaCl/0.5% Poloxamer 237 <5 μM FIG. 6

The results of these experiments are shown in FIG. 2 -FIG. 6 . As shown in FIG. 2 , samples from the pre-milled suspensions readily sedimented (1^(st) and 3^(rd) vials in each image) as compared to post milled formulations (2^(nd) and 3^(rd) vials; particle size<5 μM). After 24 hr standing, there was complete sedimentation observed in pre-milled samples but only partial sedimentation in post-milled samples (images on right).

Further, as seen in FIGS. 3-6 , the pre-milled formulations showed milled formulations (FIG. 3 ) showed enhanced aggregation as compared to the post-milled formulations (FIGS. 4-6 ). Of the three post-milled formulations the formulation with 150 mM NaCl and 0.5% Poloxamer 237 (FIG. 6 ) showed the maximum aggregation.

Example 7. Stability Studies of Exemplary Solution Formulations of the Disclosure (Pre-Lyophilized)

Pre-lyophilized solution formulations of Formula Ia (6.7 mg/mL) were prepared at a range of SBECD (sulfobutyl ether β-cyclodextrin sodium, also called betadex sulfobutyl ether sodium) concentrations and held at ambient and refrigerated conditions, with and without the presence of seeds of crystalline Formula Ia. Samples for freeze-thaw cycling were also prepared and tested. For each condition, the physical stability was measured as % LS (label strength) and compared to % LS at T=0. The results from these experiments are tabulated in Table 1 below. As seen, the 20% and 10% SBECD formulations are physically stable when held at RT and 2-8° C. for 48 hr, with and without seeding. The 20% and 10% SBECD formulations are also physically stable to freeze/thaw cycling (three cycles performed). The 7.5% SBECD formulation is physically stable when held at RT and 2-8° C. for 24 hr, with and without seeding. The 7.5% SBECD formulation is also stable to freeze/thaw cycling (three cycles performed). Precipitation under some conditions was observed at 5% SBECD.

Each formulation was administered to n=3 male cyno monkeys at a concentration of 5 mg/mL and a dose volume of 2 mL/kg for a total dose of 10 mg/kg. For each formulation, plasma samples were collected at the following time intervals: predose, 0.25, 0.48 (before end of infusion), 0.58, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours postdose (based on the start of infusion). For each formulation, samples for PBMC analysis were taken at intervals of 4 and 24 hours postdose (based on the start of infusion).

Example 15. SARS-CoV-2 Antiviral Screening

1.2×10⁴ A549-hACE2 cells in 50 μl phenol red-free DMEM medium supplemented with 2% FBS were seeded in each well of a white opaque 96-well plate (Corning, Cat #3916). On the next day, 2-fold serial dilutions of compounds were prepared in DMSO. The compounds were further diluted as 100 folds in the 2% FBS culture medium. Cell culture fluids were removed and incubated with 50 μl diluted compound solutions and 50 μl of SARS-CoV2-Nano viruses (MOI 0.025). At 48 h post-infection, 50 μl Nano luciferase substrates (Promega, Cat #N1150) were added to each well. Luciferase signals were measured using a Synergy™ Neo2 Multi-Mode microplate reader (BioTek). The relative luciferase signals were calculated by normalizing the luciferase signals of the compound-treated groups to that of the DMSO-treated groups (expressed in percentages). The relative luciferase signals (Y axis) to the log 10 values of compound concentration (X axis) were plotted in the software GraphPad Prism 8. The EC₅₀ (compound concentration for reducing 50% of luciferase signals) were calculated using a nonlinear regression model (four parameters).

Using this assay, the EC₅₀ for the compound of Formula Ia was calculated as 110 nM.

The aerosolized compound of Formula Ia was administered by inhalation to AGMs via a head-dome apparatus for 30 (Group 1; n=4) and 90 minutes (Group 2; n=4). The exposure times resulted in an average presented dose of 0.672 mg/kg and 2.14 mg/kg, respectively. The average deposited dose was calculated at 0.168 mg/kg and 0.536 mg/kg, respectively. Plasma, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), trachea, bronchi, lung lobe, liver, kidney, nasal mucosa and nasopharyngeal mucosa samples were collected in this study.

Example 17. Intravenous Administration of the Compound of Formula Ia

A pharmacokinetic study following IV administration of the compound of Formula Ia was carried out in African Green Monkeys (AGM). Same Formula Ia formulation as used above in Example 15 was used in these studies (lyophilized powder containing 105 mg of the compound of Formula Ia (3.23% w/w) and 3146 mg of sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin sodium Salt (SBECD, Betadex Sulfobutyl Ether Sodium; 96.77% w/w) reconstituted with 19 mL of water for injection to obtain a solution of 5 mg/mL the compound of Formula Ia and 150 mg/mL SBECD at pH 3.6 (range of 3.0-4.0)). The results of this study are shown in Table 26 below.

Example 18. PBMC (Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell) In-Vitro Intracellular Triphosphate Formation Assay

In-vitro intracellular triphosphate formation is measured for the compound of Formula I, Formula Ia, or Formula Ib using the following protocol. Freshly-isolated PBMC's are derived from a healthy donor and are suspended to a concentration of 5 million cells/mL in culture medium (RPMI 1164 containing L-glutamine) prior to the start of the experiment. 10 mL aliquots of PBMCs are transferred to 50 mL conical tubes with loosened caps and compounds are added to a final concentration of 2 μM. 1 mL aliquots are then transferred to the wells of a 24-well plate per sample. The PBMC-compound mixtures are incubated for 2 hours at 37° c./5% CO₂ under gentle agitation. Following incubation, PBMCs are spun at 5000 RPM for 3 min and supernatants are aspirated without disturbing the cell pellet. For samples undergoing immediate analysis, samples are resuspended in pre-cooled 1× Tris-buffered saline and are transferred to 1.5 mL conical tubes containing 0.5 mL of nyosil M25. Samples/Oil aliquots are then spun for 1 min at 13,000 RPM. Following centrifugation, all media is aspirated from the tubes without disturbing the oil layer. Water is added on top of the oil layer and the spinning/aspiration process is repeated followed by an additional water wash. After the second wash step, all oil and water is removed and the cell pellet is snap frozen on dry ice and stored at −80° C. until further processing. Samples not undergoing immediate analysis are washed 2× with serum-free culture medium, resuspended in 1 mL of culture medium and incubated at 37c/5% CO₂ until they were processed by the aforementioned protocol. Each PBMC sample is treated with 500 μL of dry ice-cold extraction buffer (70% methanol, containing 0.5 μM chloro-adenosine triphosphate as internal standard). The above solution is vortexed for 5 minutes, then centrifuged at 20,000×g for 20 minutes. Supernatant is transferred to clean 1.5 mL eppendorf vials and loaded onto a centrifuging evaporator. Once dry, samples are reconstituted with 80 μL of mobile phase A, centrifuged at 20,000×g for 20 minutes and supernatants transferred to HPLC injection vials for analysis. An aliquot of 10 μL is injected into a Sciex 6500 LC/MS/MS system. Standard calibration curves for PBMC are constructed based on pmol of compound per sample. The value from each sample is then divided by the total number of cells in the sample to yield pmol per million cells. Micromolar concentrations are then derived using an intracellular volume of 0.2 μL per cell.

Example 19. Animal Pharmacokinetics Assay

Animal PK studies for the compound of Formula I, Formula Ia, or Formula Ib are conducted using the following protocol. Animals weighing 3 to 6 kg are used for the in-life portion of the studies. Test articles are dosed to male Cynomolgus monkeys via inhalation. Plasma samples are collected at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5 2, 4, 8, and 24 hr post-administration and PBMC samples are collected at 2 and 24 hr post-administration.

Blood samples (approximately 1 mL) are collected into pre-chilled collection tubes containing K2EDTA and are centrifuged at 4° C. to separate plasma. For PBMC collection, approximately 8 mL of blood samples are collected at room temperature into CPT vacutainer tubes containing sodium heparin for isolation. At each terminal collection, animals are anesthetized and lungs are harvested while animals are alive. Collected lungs are flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen immediately following removal.

The plasma samples from pharmacokinetic studies are subject to protein precipitation by addition of acetonitrile to final concentrations of 75% containing 5-iodotubericidin as internal standards. Analytes in plasma samples are separated on a 4 μm 150×2 mm Synergi Max-RP column (Phenomenex, Torrance, CA) using mobile phase containing 0.2% formic acid and a linear gradient from 2% to 100% acetonitrile at a flow rate of 250 μL/min over 7 min. Eight points standard curves are prepared in blank plasma covered concentrations from 5.1 to 5000 nM and show linearity in excess of an R2 value of 0.99. Separately prepared quality control samples of 120 and 3,000 nM in plasma are analyzed at the beginning and end of each sample set to ensure accuracy and precision within 20%.

Each PBMC sample is treated with 500 μL of extraction buffer containing 67 mM ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) in 70% methanol, with 0.5 μM chloro-adenosine triphosphate as internal standard. The extraction buffer is cooled on dry ice. The above solution was vortexed for 5 minutes, then centrifuged at 20,000×g for 20 minutes. Supernatant is transferred to clean 1.5 mL eppendorf vials and loaded onto a centrifuging evaporator. Once dry, samples are reconstituted with 80 μL of 1 mM ammonium phosphate buffer (pH=7), centrifuged at 20,000×g for 20 minutes and supernatants transferred to HPLC injection vials for analysis. An aliquot of 10 μL is injected into an API 5000 LC/MS/MS system. In order to calculate intracellular concentration of metabolites, the total number of cells in each sample is determined using total DNA counting methods (Benech, et al. Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell Counting Using a DNA-detection-based Method. 2004 Jul. 1; 330 (1): 172-4). Standard calibration curves for PBMC are constructed based on pmol of compound per sample. The value from each sample is then divided by the total number of cells in the sample to yield pmol per million cells. Micromolar concentrations are then derived using an intracellular volume of 0.2 μL per cell.

Lung samples are prepared by sectioning into smaller pieces and distributing into pre-weighed 15 mL conical tubes, which are kept on dry ice. The ice-cold extraction buffer (0.1% KOH and 67 mM ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid in 70% methanol containing 0.5 μM chloro-adenosine triphosphate as the internal standard, ˜2 mL) is added into ˜0.5 g of each lung sample. The mixtures are promptly homogenized using an Omni-Tip TH™ with disposable, hard tissue homogenizer probes (Omni International). Aliquots of the homogenate are filtered by using 0.2 μm 96-well polypropylene filter plate (Varian Captiva™). The filtrates are evaporated to dryness and reconstituted with an equal volume of 1 mM ammonium phosphate buffer (pH=7) prior to LC-MS/MS analysis.

The nucleoside triphosphate quantification used ion pairing nucleotide detection LC-MS/MS method. Analytes are separated by a 2.5 m 2.0×50 mm Luna C18 column (Phenomenex, Torrance, CA) using an ion pairing buffer containing 3 mM ammonium phosphate (pH 5) with 10 mM dimethylhexylamine (DMH) and a multistage linear gradient from 10% to 50% acetonitrile at a flow rate of 160 μL/min over 11 min. Seven points standard curves prepared in blank matrices covered concentrations from 24.0 to 17,500 nM and showed linearity in excess of an R2 value of 0.99.

As seen, equivalent plasma PK profiles and triphosphate levels in tissues and PBMC were seen between formulations 1 and 3 in AGM.

Further, while Formula Ia was cleared slower with the suspension formulation (formulation 2), the plasma exposures were similar to the solution formulation (formulation 1). In general, tissues and PBMC levels were similar between the formulations 1 and 2. The suspension formulation 2 achieved similar PK profiles to the solution formulation 1 at significantly shorter exposure duration (10 vs. 90 min).

Example 21. Nebulizer Performance Data of an Exemplary Formulation

Aqueous solution containing 5 mg/mL Formula Ia, 15% w/v SBECD at an 8 mL charge was nebulized by the PARI Vios® PRO Aerosol Delivery System (PARI LC® Sprint jet nebulizer coupled with a PARI Vios® PRO compressor; hereon referred to as the LC® Sprint) until the end of nebulization. No significant change in % peak area for Formula Ia or its identified impurities was observed in either the collected aerosol or the residual drug solution in the nebulizer reservoir.
